Use of losses in the completion period 1217MB 1 Subsection (2) applies if a loss made in the separate theatrical trade is carried forward under section 45 or 45B of CTA 2010 to the completion period.

2 So much (if any) of the loss as is not attributable to relief under section 1217H (see subsection (4)) may be treated for the purposes of section 37 and Part 5 of CTA 2010 as if it were a loss made in the completion period.

3 If a loss is made in the separate theatrical trade in the completion period, the amount of the loss that may be—

a deducted from total profits of the same or an earlier period under section 37 of CTA 2010, or b surrendered as group relief under Part 5 of that Act, is restricted to the amount (if any) that is not attributable to relief under section 1217H.

4 The amount of a loss in any period that is attributable to relief under section 1217H is found by—
